Y'all must be playing under HOF difficulty. I've pitched a 1 run CG (HOF) and a 7 inning 2 run game (Legend) with Maddux in the two games I've used him. His control is amazing (analog), his movement is disgusting, and you'll freeze people consistently if you pitch properly with him instead of trying to spam an 89 mph sinker up in the zone.
10/10 would definitely recommend Maddux to anybody that consistently plays above AS.
This. You can’t take reviews from people who don’t play in the higher levels. Not a shot at anyone. But it’s BP with any pitcher below 700.
Thanks for the heads up. Never thought about it that way before.

That is what happens when the game becomes about hitting. Pitching gets worst every year. It started in the show 18
I'd argue pitching is a tiny bit better because in 18 there were little strikeouts, where on HoF there are a good amount this year.
But yeah in general, it's not great.
Going from 17 to 18 was bad, then got worst with 19 and not looking forward to how bad it will be in 21.
Oh, it's going to be bad. They still won't touch the main problem with this game which is connections by far. Then you have all the Xbox players coming. If there is a cheat in the game, Xbox players will find it. Xbox players are pitiful in general.

His sinker’s not that good, his off-speed isn’t very effective, he doesn’t have a good strikeout pitch, and worst of all, he has terrible command. Can’t dot a fastball when it matters most and hangs way too many well-released changeups. Guess I’ll be selling. Big disappointment for me.
It’s really sad that glitchy deliveries/upper-nineties fastballs (preferably cutters and sinkers) are the only ways a pitcher can be successful in this game. Maddux was incredible in real life but doesn’t translate well because his motion is easy to pick up and he doesn’t throw hard.

That's what I'm finding out with 98 Hershiser. I need to pitch with him more to find out what does & doesn't work.
